covered in bruises, and she has several broken ribs. She can’t even move without severe pain. I can’t imagine her sitting up for a three hour plane ride. Do we have any other options?”
    Walter’s sigh could be heard over the phone line, and Donte could just imagine him frowning at the phone. “Yeah, we might. Let me make a few calls. I know the vampire group there has a private plane. Maybe I can talk them into borrowing it,” he hesitated before continuing, “Other than that, how is she?”
    “Truthfully, at this moment she doesn’t trust anyone, and is still reeling from the attack. She’ll probably feel better once I get her back with Betty.”
    “Yes, between Sissy and Betty, they will have her spoiled in no time,” Walter chuckled.
    “Well, there is one other matter that needs to be discussed.” Donte quietly stood and walked over the window, hoping he wouldn’t wake her talking to Walter.
    “Okay, I’m listening,” Walter stated patiently.
    “She’s my mate,” Donte spoke this very low, just in case she wasn’t all the way under yet. Thankfully, with Walter being a vampire, he would have heard anything Donte breathed, but he was standing far enough away from Cassandra that she shouldn’t be able to make out any words.
    “Are you shitting me?” Walter boomed so loudly that Donte instinctively held the phone out away from his ear.
    “What in the hell is in the water, or should I say blood these days? First Lucas, then Nathaniel, and now you!” The line went silent for a second and Donte was just getting ready to ask if Walter was still on the line when he came back. “Well, congratulations! Although it sounds to me like you have your work cut out for you. You know, we have no choice but to tell her about us. Not only is she going to be staying with me for a while, but being she’s your mate, she deserves to know the truth. Maybe we’ll all sit down together to tell her, and I’ll make sure Betty and Susan are there as well. Maybe that will make it easier on her.”
    “Maybe. Right now I just want to concentrate on getting her back to Texas, then we can worry about everything else,” Donte replied to his boss. Priorities. He was a stickler for making priority lists for everything. The guys loved to pick on him for it at work.
    He got off the phone with Walter and sat back down in the chair next to the bed. Reaching down to his brief case, he quietly retrieved a sketchpad and a few charcoal pencils. He loved to draw. It was his way of relaxing, winding down after a hard day at work.
    Now, as he sat back in the chair and tried to get comfortable, he planned to use his drawing as a way of getting his mind off his mate sleeping not more than a few feet away from him. His dick had sprung to life as soon as he stepped foot in the room, knowing from her scent alone she was their mate. And the damn bastard didn’t care that she was too injured to even think of having sex. No, all it cared about was sinking into her warm, silky sheath until he was balls deep inside of her.
    He sighed and shook his head as he glanced down at his stubborn cock. He hadn’t even experienced a hard-on in too many years to count. It had somewhat sat up and taken notice when Susan first started working with the team, but he had known immediately she wasn’t his mate. Prior to Nathaniel walking in and snatching her up, he had thought about asking her out just as friends. He hadn’t been on a date in a really, really, long time, and figured it might be something he wanted to brush up on just in case.
    Now, looking back on things, he was glad Nathaniel showed up when he did. It would have been an awkward conversation to have with his mate that yes, he had dated someone that she would more than likely be introduced to, and as close as the women were, probably end up friends with her. He smiled, thankful for fate knowing what she was doing when Nathaniel had shown up and snatched Susan up immediately. Now that he was
